Portals

In 1981 Hardy worked with SF author Bob Shaw to produce Galactic Tours – a sort of interstellar travel brochure. This included a painting of a ‘portal’ or gateway, leading to different worlds. In 1974 Hawkwind used a Hardy back cover on Hall of the Mountain Grill.

February 2015: The latest addition to this saga has now been completed: a SF fan who is also a big fan of Hawkwind commissioned a painting based on the original album cover – but in a different season. Hardy picked on winter, and here is the result (third gallery mage).
